At least 14 people, including children, were injured after being bitten by several rabid dogs in Kishoreganj upazila of Nilphamari district on Wednesday evening. Four of the victims, who were seriously injured, were sent to Rangpur Medical College Hospital for advanced treatment. The situation worsened as the upazila health complex ran out of rabies vaccines, leaving the injured in distress.

According to locals, the dogs attacked people in different markets between 7:30 p.m. and 10:00 p.m., spreading panic across the area. One of the dogs was later beaten to death by residents. Victims and their families complained that they had to buy vaccines from private pharmacies at high prices due to the unavailability at the hospital. The upazila health officer confirmed that the health complex had no vaccine stock and advised patients to seek treatment at the district hospital.

Local residents expressed deep concern over the sudden dog attacks and vaccine crisis, urging authorities to ensure immediate vaccine supply and take effective measures to control stray dogs.
